Happy middle of the week. I have acupuncture in a bit. She will knock this bug right out of my system. I can't wait. Dinner will likely be takeout, depending upon how I feel later.
What's on your menu?
littlemama, congratulations on your new job. Woohoo!
smcast, how is your dad doing today?
Wishing everyone a calm and easy day.

scrapmaven, his biggest complaint is a headache. I'm sure with holding his normal meds, bleeding after nasogastric tube placed, and iv dilaudid, it's no wonder. I just talked to his nurse. I used to work as an aide with this gal years ago, so that was comforting. Minimal output out of tube, so I told her we should try clamping it off suction, resume oral meds, and get ES tylenol ordered. Maybe even start clear liquid diet. They haven't even given him ice chips. He also needs to get up walking. Maybe today is the day things can move forward. I can't believe no cares with washing him up or encouraging activity have been done. Thank goodness my mom is able to visit and freshen him up. Little things go a long ways in my book. It all goes back to Florence Nightingale. 😅 I work at 7pm so not sure about supper. Dd gets out of school early on Wednesdays now. Something new so teachers have extra prep time during this covid stuff. All kids are back full time since Feb. 22nd. I'm considering going to the town where dad is hospitalized when dd gets out if school and taking mom out to lunch again. We'll see how things shake out. It's 35 miles from me. No big deal but I like to rest a little before working all night. My stomach is in knots, so hard to do. I'm hopeful we can make progress today. 🙏👍🤞

Another quiet day here today. I woke up early, and knew I was expecting a package delivery, so I also decided to go out for my walk early. I also got all my regular chores done before my walk, so then I was free to chill for the day. I also got a resolution to my candle issue today - I had ordered 4 packs of 12 tealights. I received 1 full pack, 1 empty pack and 18 candles, a mix of the 3 missing scents. They refunded me for all 3 of those packs, plus my postage. That is better than I expected, so I’m happy. I probably won’t order from them again, given it took a month to get the order and then had the run-around of fixing the problems. It is easier, a lot faster and the same price or cheaper to buy from Amazon. Dinner tonight is a ham and asparagus quiche. DH told me he’ll probably be late tonight, so I don’t have to worry about getting started yet.

Heading out in a short while to have my hair colored and trimmed, followed by lunch with a friend - the last one before her husband retires. Glorious weather for a patio lunch so I'm happy about that. After that I need to stop in a shop and see about ordering a new mailbox slot. The one they put on the door doesn't work quite right and it needs to be replaced.
Dinner will be the broiled trout and asparagus we didn't have last night. Now I'm off to read yesterday's thread since I totally missed it.

smcast, all the best to you and your dad. I've spent a lot of time in the hospital with my DH and know well the stress and uncertainty it can bring. Yesterday was a crazy day, but so far-so calm today. I'm looking forward to yoga tonight. DH will be fending, but the fridge is slap full so not a problem. Hoping we can all enjoy a calm day.

sueg I'm glad that you finally got things resolved to your satisfaction. smcast , isn't it odd that they're not getting him up, since he's a clot/penumonia risk? Is it worth your while to speak to his charge nurse? I'll continue to think good thoughts for your dad's recovery. I do hope that they'll focus on recovery rather than stagnation.
I almost forgot to ask. Can someone please start tmw's thread? I have a long appt in the big city and have to get on the road early. After that I have an infusion and have to meet my nurse as soon as I get home. If I'm not on the thread tmw, I'm OK, just very busy. Thank you in advance. Promise not to split the atom in my absence.

Tomorrow is the first day people will be able to look at our house (listing goes live tonight). I have a busy workday so I think we will just get something to go for dinner so I won’t have to clean the kitchen. It’s going to be a beautiful sunny day here today. It feels like spring has arrived. Until tomorrow at least when their will be rain for a week + straight 😂

scrapmaven I'm happy to start the thread tomorrow. sueg I'm glad you got a refund. That was only right. smcast I'm so glad you have the knowledge to be on top of your dad's care. Last night we ended up having pizza. Jeremy's choice. Tonight I will make the baked ziti. I'm having a pretty good day today. It's very warm in Michigan today and the sun is shining.

christine58 let me know how your breakfast pizza comes out. There's a restaurant all the way on the other side of town that makes a great breakfast pizza. I've been thinking of trying to make one myself. But their crust is sweet like a croissant. I want to know how to make such a great crust.

Happy Hump Day dinner tribe! smcast that must be very stressful. Hugs. scrapmaven okay we won’t call in the pea rescue squad when we don’t hear from you tomorrow. I’m sure tomorrow will wear you out a bit. jeremysgirl “high five” for a good day! sueg glad you got a good resolution from the candle co. Well working from home again today, our internet issue at work should be fixed this afternoon. I can’t do half my job so it’s frustrating. But today it’s a bit of a blessing. My dad is getting his second Covid shot today and since he is in a electric wheel chair it’s a bit of an ordeal for any outing. A friend of my parents has a wheel chair accessible minivan so he is driving them which is a relief. I’ll go over at 1 and make sure they can load him okay. Dinner tonight is buffalo chicken squares and left over green bean salad.

Happy Wednesday my friends! smcast - sending healing thoughts for your dad and hugs for you dealing with it all. scrapmaven - good luck with your appointment tomorrow. We will certainly miss your lovely presence among us tomorrow, our fearless leader! Have I said lately how much I enjoy this group and daily interaction? Thank you for accepting me into your group. :-) DH left for a quick ranch trip this morning. We have plans on Saturday with my son, DIL and grandson. So he'll be back on Friday. It's calving season, so he needed to go see that all is ok. It's a beautiful spring day here today. I have windows open to air the house out a little. I love fresh air days, but we have so few of them here, usually it's too humid to open the windows. Dinner will probably be leftover lasagna, I froze 3/4 of it this morning, sent some with DH and saved a little for me to nibble on. I have salad fixings too. Enjoy your day everyone!

Hey ladies!! Happy Hump Day!!
It's been a crazy morning. When dh gets up at 5:30, he feeds the dogs and gets them their pills. Both of them have always been kind of finicky about feeding time so we have their bowls separated a lot. But sometimes there are still scuffles. Well this morning was one of them. Canon is super hungry because of all the steroids he's on and instigated a fight. Starsky ended up with a couple of puncture wounds on his ear. I heard the commotion and got up and helped dh treat the wounds. We have this powder that we use to stop the bleeding but it was persistent and we've had to treat it a couple of times so far. He shook in the hallway without me realizing and when I walked back, there were droplets of blood on the tile and upon closer inspection, blood spatter on the walls.
More dog annoyance (TMI HERE SO SKIP IF YOU'RE SQUEAMISH)- with the steroids and the antibiotics, Canon's anal oils have been obnoxious and he's been getting it on the couch. So I'm immediately starting to train him to stay off the couches. I don't want him on new couches anyway, so now is the time. In the meantime, I'm going to have to drag out the carpet/upholstery cleaner and do these old couches. I don't want to but it's going to be at least 2 months before the couches are replaced.
Dd#1 has her PT consult today for her kyphosis. We're leaving in a few for that. Both girls have soccer tonight.
Dinner is turkey cutlets, rice pilaf, and broccolini.

Hi Everyone, scrapmaven Enjoy your acupuncture today! I pray that it heals you and helps you. smcast I am so sorry that your poor dad is going through so much. You are a complete blessing to his being properly cared for by the hospital. sueg I am glad that the candle company was good to refund you better than you expected. tuesdaysgone Enjoy your yoga tonight. psiluvu Thank you for the giggle! The ham that keeps on giving. PolarGreen12 I hope that your dad does okay with his vaccine. austnscrapaddict I enjoy reading your daily posts too! brandy327 Yikes! DH just took our dog for grooming yesterday and I had called and asked them to clean out his anal glands because I can’t have that going on in my house. It’s happened in the past because he’s an old guy, but with my knee I definitely can’t have it going on. Today I am expecting to meet my new physical therapist. He will be here in about 15 minutes. Wish me luck! Last night I had pizza and stuffed clams. I don’t know what we’re having for dinner tonight. But I can tell you it’s quite nice not having to figure out what to make every night. When you leave it on someone else, it’s kind of like being on vacation. Of course I have to go with the flow and just eat whatever they bring in. I am keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

Good morning all!
I'm at work today, and I do believe the AIR CONDITIONER is on. It's sunny and 50, but apparently keeping a wintery chill in the air is the goal today. Ugh.
No idea about tonight; as expected, we had sausage and peppers last night. They were chicken sausages, and delicious. But still sausage.
